TAG McLaren Audio  
TAG McLaren Audio exists with one aim  
in mind: to produce the very best audio and  
audio-visual equipment.  
dvd pla yer DVD3 2 FLR with our  
a wa rd winning a v processor AV3 2 R  
Like many people, I often have my best  
ideas when relaxing to a piece of music or  
watching a movie. For years, knowing the  
technical capabilities of TAG McLaren, I  
have nurtured the ambition to push music  
and movie reproduction to the absolute limit  
without compromising ease of use; that’s  
why we formed TAG McLaren Audio.  
There are many immediate spin-offs into  
audio from our expertise in automotive  
electronics, mechanical engineering and the  
material science of Formula One motor  
racing: multi-layer printed circuits, fast digital  
signal processing, electronic noise  
TAG McLarens aim is sonic perfection  
combined with aesthetic delight and solid  
build quality – a rare combination in hi-fi  
but one which TAG McLaren Audio is  
already delivering.  
At the core of our development team are  
highly experienced engineers whose  
heritage of award-winning hi-and world-  
beating electronic control systems is envied  
by many and equalled by few.  
suppression, radio frequency technology and  
software expertise to name but a few, all  
prerequisites of an outstanding audio product.

crisper,  
cleaner and  
much more

The DVD32FLR is a high performance video source that supports a wide range of video  
outputs, making it the perfect choice for home cinema installations. It is particularly well  
suited to situations which cannot accommodate our top-loading DVD32R. The DVD32FLR is  
an ideal complement to the TAG McLaren Audio theatre AV32R but also complements many  
other high-performance audio-visual processors.  
This is a world first for a DVD player!

We know that you are keen to get your DVD32FLR working. This section describes the  
connections required to make your DVD32FLR fully functional and have you viewing your  
favourite movies as quickly as possible. Refer to page 2 for diagrams to help you find your  
way around your DVD32FLR .  
Regional coding has been dened by the developers of the DVD standard (the licensors) to  
protect the sequential patterns of distribution for the motion picture producers’ copyrighted  
works. In line with these copy protection laws, your DVD32FLR has been congured for one  
of six regions (1 to 6), dependent upon the country of destination. The region of your  
DVD32FLR is clearly shown on the packaging beside the mains operating voltage and  
frequency, and can also be obtained from the information screen via the setup menu.  
Simply press menu, 5 and a screen, similar to the one shown below, appears:

Your DVD32FLR is designed to run warm during normal operation. Please ensure that there is  
adequate ventilation above and below the unit. We recommend that you do not place your  
DVD32FLR near any heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight.  
In the example above, the DVD32FLR is set to region code 2.  
Do not expose your DVD32FLR to dripping or splashing liquids. Do not place  
objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on or near to it.  
Do not place the DVD32FLR on top of the AV32R (or other electronics), it will harm both  
products because of restricted ventilation.

Your DVD32FLR has two types of digital output; Two coaxial SPDIF (called DIGITAL OUTPUT 1  
and 2) and one OPTICAL. We recommend using one of the coaxial connections for best  
sound quality. Using a high quality digital interconnect, such as our F3-10-DIG, connect the  
DIGITAL OUTPUT 1 or 2 of your DVD32FLR to a digital input on your AV processor.

Your DVD32FLR has three different types of video output; COMPONENT VIDEO(1), S-VIDEO(2)

Video, which in turn will give much better quality than Composite video. You should therefore  
use the highest quality video type which your video display device or video processor can  
support, and connect directly from your DVD32FLR using high quality video cables (for  
example our F3-10-SVID S-Video cable or our F3-10-VID Composite/ Component cable).

system-remote  
controlling the DVD32FLR  
The DVD32FLR has a standby mode which can be entered by  
pressing standby either on the front panel or Remote(1). The blue  
power LED will be dimmed and the display switched off. Normal  
operation may be resumed by pressing any button on the front  
panel or Remote. You can keep the DVD32FLR in standby for long  
periods of time without penalty of a high electricity bill, as the  
DVD32FLR includes its own low-current standby transformer and  
circuitry.  
The backlit system-remote is designed to  
control your complete home cinema system.  
The system-remote comes preprogrammed  
and ready to use for many TAG McLaren  
Audio products, including the TAG  
McLaren av processor AV32R, five-channel  
amplifier 100x5R, three-channel amplifier  
250x3R and your DVD player DVD32FLR.  
Other devices which are not  
preprogrammed to work with the system-  
remote will need to be ‘learnt’. To program  
the system-remote for other devices, you  
will need the original remote control for the  
unit you wish to control. Details of how to  
program the system-remote are included at  
the end of this manual.  
Before you can control the DVD32FLR with  
the system-remote you must first select DVD  
as the device to control. This is done by  
pressing the dvd key in the REMOTE  
SELECTION area at the top of the system-  
remote. The DVD32FLR will remain selected  
by the Remote until another unit is chosen  
via the REMOTE SELECTION area. Once the  
DVD32FLR has been selected, it can be  
controlled from the system-remote. A red  
light on the front panel of the DVD32FLR  
will flash when commands from the system-  
remote are received, and the ‘DVD’ key in  
the REMOTE SELECTION area will light  
briefly with each key press.

is determined in the display menu under startup brightness. The DVD32FLR allows you  
to dene a different display brightness when a disc is playing (or even to switch off the  
display). The display can also be congured to automatically switch to an after hold’  
brightness, which can be off, after a given time interval.  
Put a disc in the tray with its label facing up. Press play(2) to close

ATTENTION:  
If you have connected the TAGtronic Communications Bus between the DVD32FLR and the  
TAG McLaren av processor AV32R, and the AV32R(1) is congured to synchronise the  
DVD32FLRs front display brightness to the AV32Rs, then your manual setting will be  
overridden whenever the AV32R changes its front display brightness. The DVD32FLR can also  
be congured to override the AV32Rs settings. If both products are congured to dene the  
display brightness, then the last change (either from the DVD32FLR or AV32R) will take  
precedence.  
Your DVD32FLR is regionally coded in line with  
international law. If you try to play a disc of an  
incompatible zone the player will refuse to play the disc, showing  
wrong region.

The DVD32FLR features the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This allows TAG  
McLaren Audio products to exchange information and work seamlessly together to form an  
effective, fully integrated system. The DVD32FLR(1) offers at present four congurable features:  
If your video device is directly connected to  
your DVD32FLR (or routed through the AV32R standby commands onto the TAGtronic Bus.  
The DVD32FLR can be congured to relay  
without using the output + on-screen display)  
the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus  
can be used to convey on-screen information  
from the AV32R to the DVD32FLR. When this  
feature is enabled(1), on-screen information  
from the AV32R is overlaid onto the video  
signal in the DVD32FLR. The AV32R transmits  
status messages (press ok with the AV remote  
control), volume and surround information.  
It does not send the setup screens of the  
AV32R.  
This provides a means of putting all  
products into standby using a single press  
of standby. Similarly, all products can be  
brought out of standby using the same key.  
If the DVD32FLR is congured for auto-  
standby(2), then this too will cause a  
standby command to be relayed on to the  
bus.

Your DVD32FLR has the capability to relay remote control commands received by its IR  
receiver onto the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This is ideal when some of your  
equipment is in a location that does not permit direct line of sight from the Remote and also  
opens up the possibility of multi-room control.  
synchronised displa y brightness  
Rather than having to individually control the display brightness of each piece of your TAG  
McLaren Audio system, it is possible to synchronise their brightness to match the display on  
your DVD32FLR. This not only gives single point control of display brightness, but also allows  
display appearance to be consistent across all products.

test pa tterns  
brightness (bla ck level)  
The DVD32FLR has a in-built test pattern generator to assist you in adjusting your picture, PAL  
or NTSC, for best performance.  
Black is the absence of light, and this is the rst parameter you should adjust. Use the display  
devices black level control which some manufacturers call, quite inappropriately, brightness.  
Many display devices are wrongly adjusted when leaving the factory because they need to  
overcome the bright lighting in the show rooms from which they are usually selected.  
However, once installed at home, the viewing conditions vary considerably from those in the  
show rooms, hence display devices need re-calibrating.  
The DVD32FLR includes two test patterns, PLUGE 1 and PLUGE 2, which will allow you to  
adjust the black level until black becomes reallyblack (and not just a dark grey). If you set  
the black level too high then a scene lmed at night looks like a scene lmed in the afternoon  
(as black will be replaced by dark grey). However, if the black level is set too low then the  
picture will lose detail in dark scenes.  
Most important for a perfect picture is the absence of surrounding light in the room,  
particularly light which can hit the screen. An often suggested low brightness light, placed  
behind the screen (hence preventing it from reecting in the screen) should only be used if  
you want to watch tv leisurely for a long period of time. For best movie presentation, keep  
the surrounding light intensity as low as possible.  
(1)  
Both test-patterns include a signal, created by hardware circuitry inside your DVD32FLR ,  
which produces a level which is electrically below black, i.e. invisible if the black level of the  
display device is correctly adjusted. This signal is called PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generating  
Equipment). Both test patterns also include, to the right of PLUGE, separated by a black  
zone, a dark grey bar (electrically above black, by exactly the same amount as PLUGE is  
below).  
It is not just the absence of surrounding light which can improve the performance of your  
display device, it is also the colour of the walls, as these will also reect light, emitted (or  
reected, when using a front projector) from your screen, bouncingit back on to the screen  
to wash-outthe picture. The perfect home cinema would be pitch black with no added light  
in the room! Not the most pleasant of rooms, but highly effective. The result would be great  
picture quality, assuming the display device is up to the task and adjusted properly. A more  
practical solution is walls painted in darker colours without a reective surface.  
If the black level is correctly adjusted then PLUGE is no longer visible but the dark grey bar  
still (just) is.  
PLUGE 2 contains, in addition to PLUGE 1, a brilliant white eld to check if the black level is  
affected by high picture contrast.

Turn the brightness(1) up until you can clearly see the PLUGE bar. Then turn the brightness  
down slowly until the PLUGE bar just disappears in the dark background(2). Don't turn the  
brightness down too much, you should always see the grey bar to the right of the PLUGE  
bar(3).  
PLUGE 1 has low average intensity, whilst PLUGE 2 includes a white bar. Adjust the black  
level using both test-patterns (PLUGE 1 and PLUGE 2), and if the settings differ use the  
average of both. Only the very best display devices are able to maintain a constant black  
level independent of the picture content. You might need to select an average of both  
calibrations.

Cross-check your setting by turning back to  
the PLUGE 2 test-pattern and check that the  
bright white eld (PLUGE 2) isn't blurred  
into the black background. Some display  
devices allow a very high contrast setting  
without blurring, others will always blur.  
colour  
The cross hatch included in the DVD32FLR is  
a multi-purpose test-pattern which will allow  
adjustment of contrast and sharpness.  
The colour test-pattern allows you to adjust Colour (and Tint in NTSC)(1). Adjust those two  
parameters until yellow looks yellow (without including too much red) and Red is not over-  
saturated. Your might use lters, available from specialist suppliers, which will allow you to  
more objectively adjust colour.  
On some display devices the black lines  
will have a second or even multiple lines  
beside them, usually shown in a light grey.  
They can be caused by many reasons, for  
example poor cables between the DVD  
player and the display device or - usually  
only available in NTSC - a wrongly  
adjusted sharpness control. Use good  
cables, such as our S-Video or digital cable  
(for Composite or Component) and turn the  
sharpness right down to remove these  
artifacts. Frequently you might nd that you  
cannot remove those extra lines completely.

The test pattern includes a series of black  
lines on a white background. Adjust the  
contrast, after having set the black level  
correctly, so that white becomes solid  
without blurring into the black lines and  
without turning the black lines grey.

a spect ra tio  
convergence  
Many display devices form white by generating a mixture of the primary colours red, green  
and blue which our eyes add to white. If these colours arent hitting exactly the same spot  
they wont form perfect white. This is called imperfect convergence.  
Convergence of some display devices, primarily projectors, can be user adjusted, others will  
need a service engineer or arent adjustable at all. The quality of the convergence can be  
checked using any of the Aspect Ratio test-patterns as they show white lines on a black  
background.  
If the white lines arent white but show the prime colours, shifted against each other, then the  
convergence need adjustment.  
These test patterns output a cross hatch of white lines on a black background, including  
several perfect circles. If the geometry of your display device or the output format of the  
DVD32FLR arent correctly set these circles will look distorted. Make sure your display device  
is switched to the correct aspect ratio and you have set the DVD32FLR correctly (see setup-  
>change set up->video->aspect ratio)(1).  
On a 4:3 standard tv the cross hatches 4:3 and 16:9 letterbox should look undistorted.  
On a 16:9 display device all 3 test patterns should look correct, assuming the correct zoom  
mode is selected (e.g. none, letterbox, anamorphic).

progressive sca n module PSM192  
PSM192 outputs  
Your DVD32FLR may optionally be tted  
with a video processing board, the  
Progressive Scan Module PSM192.  
The PSM192 has a DVI 1.0 digital video output and a set of component analog outputs. The  
DVI output has its own connector on the rear panel of your player. The analog outputs are  
available on the players BNC component connections. The normal interlaced component  
video signals remain available on the RCA component connections.  
PSM192 generates analog and digital  
progressively scanned video outputs from  
interlaced video inputs - that applies to the  
video signal from DVDs played by the  
DVD32FLR, of course, but the PSM192 also  
has external inputs to allow progressively  
scanned video output to be generated from  
all your composite and S-Video sources.  
The PSM192 is a de-interlacer, not just a  
line doubler, by which we mean it examines  
the incoming video elds and determines  
which elds can be recombined to produce  
an output with maximum vertical resolution.  
At the heart of the PSM192 is the Silicon  
Image Sil 504 de-interlacer, a highly  
sophisticated digital video processor,  
carrying out 6 billion operations per  
second. The Sil 504 uses advanced motion  
adaptive and source adaptive techniques to  
create an output image with maximum  
vertical resolution without introducing  
motion and interlacing artefacts.  
configuring the PSM192 outputs  
The outputs may be congured as component (YPbPr) or RGsB (i.e. RGB with sync on green).  
The output mode can be changed only when the player does not have a disc loaded. To  
change output mode, rst remove any disc that is loaded, close the tray, and wait for the no  
discmessage to appear. To select component press the number keys corresponding to the  
letters COM, i.e. 2, 6, 6 on the system remote. To select RGB press the number keys  
corresponding to the letters RGB, i.e. 7, 4, 2.  
PSM192 inputs  
The PSM192, installed in a DVD32FLR, provides external composite and S-Video inputs via  
the upper composite and S-Video connectors on the players rear panel. It also has an  
internal connection to the DVD video output. For best quality the DVD32FLR should be  
congured for component output.

4:3 mode for 16:9 displa ys  
progressively scanned output for all your video  
sources.  
The PSM192 has a special mode to display 4:3 video signals on a 16:9 widescreen display.  
If your display is congured as 16:9 in the player menus, you can use the PSM192 to add  
black bars at the sides of 4:3 images so that they are centred within your 16:9 display. This  
is controlled by pressing shift then display on the system remote, press them once to turn on  
the black bars for 4:3 input signals, press again to remove them for 16:9 input signals. The  
external composite and S-Video inputs have black bars active by default (i.e. they expect a  
4:3 input by default), press shift then display to turn the bars off if the input signal is 16:9.  
softwa re upgra des distributed via the internet  
One of the most exible aspects of DVD32FLR is that the software is stored in re-  
programmable memory. The software can be upgraded using a PC connected via the

fuses  
clea ning  
There is a fuse in the power socket on the  
back of your DVD32FLR. To change the  
fuse, unplug the power cable and pull out  
the fuse carrier drawer.  
In order to maintain the appearance of your  
DVD32FLR you can clean it as follows:  
running in  
before cleaning always disconnect  
DVD32FLR from the AC supply.  
Just like a high-quality car, the performance  
of DVD32FLR will improve during the rst  
few weeks of operation. The electronic  
components will then have reached and  
settled down to near-perfect specication.  
The fuse carrier contains a spare fuse. This  
is the rst one you see when you open the  
carrier. It is essential that you use a fuse of  
the correct type and rating.  
any grease or dirt on the case may be  
removed with a dry soft lint-free cloth. Do  
not use any liquids, solvents or abrasives.  
wa rming up  
There are no other user-serviceable parts  
inside your DVD32FLR.  
take great care not to get any liquid inside  
the case. If this happens you should have  
your DVD32FLR serviced.  
Every time you switch on your DVD32FLR,  
the performance will improve until the  
components reach their optimum operating  
temperature.  
ser vice  
The only servicing you should carry out yourself is described in the previous section. All other  
servicing should only be carried out by our authorised service agents.  
If service is required, please contact your authorised TAG McLaren Audio retailer or arrange it  
directly via our website: www.tagmclaren.com. If your DVD32FLR is still under guarantee, please  
refer to the guarantee card which gives you details on how to claim against the guarantee.  
Please keep the original packaging and use it whenever your DVD32FLR is transported. A  
detailed packing instruction is available from www.tagmclaren.com or can be requested from  
our [email protected]. Shipping without the appropriate transit protection will  
invalidate your warranty.

Some devices (other than those listed above) may partially work  
with the system-remote as supplied. To check this, select the desired  
unit using one of the REMOTE SELECTION keys and try pressing a  
few of the keys. If the device responds as expected, you may only  
need to edit the set-up for that unit by programming one or two  
keys, as explained on the following pages, otherwise you will need

Macros can only be programmed with either av or sat selected!  
Macros programmed under av will be recalled, pressing m1, m2, ...

programmed under sat will be recalled when using sat, tv, vcr and ld.  
7. Once you have nished teaching the system-remote all the  
desired commands from the original remote, you must store  
them by simultaneously pressing the appropriate REMOTE  
SELECTION key and the ok key for about four seconds.  
When using the macro functions, it can take up to 10 seconds to  
transmit a 10-key sequence. You should keep the system-remote  
pointing towards the appropriate unit while the commands are being  
transmitted to ensure they are received correctly.  
Once you have stored the learntfunctions, test the keys you have  
taught to make sure that they are programmed correctly.  
If the system-remote has problems learning from the original  
remote(1),you should:
